Summary
“He just wants so badly for RJ to be okay. That’s it. Because if RJ’s okay then that means that Macklin’s done his job. Absorbed all of his brother’s grief and sadness like a sponge until he has it all and RJ carries none of it.
But life isn’t that simple, and grief doesn’t work like that. If you’re not careful, the blackness of it sticks to your bones, fills the cracks in your heart until you’re half human and half something else. A monstrous thing. There’s no way to absorb someone else’s sadness, not entirely. It just keeps coming, unending and all-consuming.
You have to let them feel it.”
Or,
RJ Celebrini is drafted first overall to the San Jose Sharks in 2029 and billets with veteran Will Smith (Hockey) for his rookie year. Macklin is RJ's legal guardian and brother, unravelling and rebuilding in the background of his brother's first year in the NHL.
